A huge +1 to that! Also, it would be awesome to get back on track wrt. our release schedule (quarterly). Hence let me put the stake in the ground and propose a release date of 9/22 (we could call it a Fall release ;-)). > To name a few: > - testability/test coverage > - test framework > - package improvements > - build improvements (including performance) > > In order to be able to deliver a solid stack again yet improve all things > Bigtop I'd like to focus on the latter, hence keeping the former at bay and > limiting the component updates to the bugfix releases only (if warranted). > E.g. > > Hadoop 2.0.5 or later (stabilization branch of Hadoop 2) > HBase 0.94.9 (update from the Bigtop 0.6.0) > HCatalog 0.5.0 (same as 0.6.0, as well as following...) > Zookeeper 3.4.5 > Pig 0.11.1 > Hive 0.10.0 > Sqoop 2 > Oozie 3.3.2 > Whirr 0.8.1 > Mahout 0.7 > Flume 1.3.1 > Giraph 0.2.0 > Hue 2.2.0 > Datafu 0.0.6 > Solr 4.2.1 > Crunch 0.5.0 > Tomcat 6.0.36 > Spark 0.7.3 (it has been in the queue for a long time) > > Also, I'd suggest to keep the same set of OSes as last time: > > CentOS/RHEL5 > CentOS/RHEL6 > SLES11 > Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS) > Fedora 18 > OpenSUSE 12.3 > Ubuntu 12.10 > > To reiterate, with a known stable version of the stack we can safely focus on > the improvements to the framework and the overall system usability. > > Please jump on the discussion Also, I have opened up the following JIRA to > track the BOM update https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1023 I've provided a few bits of feedback on the JIRA itself. Seems like there's not too much opposition to the current plan so lets nail down a few details this week and I can file subjiras defining this release. Thanks, Roman.
